Merkku Indhiya Theevugal


West Indies
Clearly my second favourite cricket playing nation for years.

Its very happy to see this wonderful nation play in a final . I think this is the first time I am seeing WI team play in a final . They have won a ICC Championship some years back. But I this is a World Cup . Today they play  in the Finals of the Fourth Edition of ICC T20 WorldCup against SriLanka.

If not Sachin, it will be Lara, may most favourite sportsperson. I don’t know the exact reason why I like him. May be his style , may be his nature. It started from him, my thought towards the Indies in the West. I ve seen some old matches played in 1970's-80’s. It’s clearly this team that ruled the entire globe in cricket. But It was 1983 world cup finals that sealed their fate. It was till the first innings that were clearly the Champions for the third consecutive time. But it was time for the East. So from then their graph took the downfall.

At times player used to roar with some individual performances of Walsh , Ambrose . I used to fear when Walsh came to bowl and the same for the other “Black Magician Ambrose”. Chandrapaul and Hooper shine in some matches. Then I think around 2006-07 where most of the team was restructured with senior players going out and youngsters making their way in lights of Gayle, Samuels, Edwards, Bravo. Once when India played against them I wished Windies to win that ODI. I can never forget the match in India when Marlon Samuels smashed a century and took a pink cloth from his pocket and showed the world. One other thing is they had the first even women commentator in international Cricket.

In 2007 , they had an opportunity to conduct the World Cup . The event was not that received, as India and Pakisthan exited early from the tournament. That time as far as I am concerned I was very glad to see that people over there celebrate Cricket. Play cricket mostly on beaches. Have lots of fun.The same year also had the first ever T20 coming into picture and the introduction of IPL.

From then onwards, the players started gaining respect around the world. With each of the Players playing for different teams and shining individually. Pollard for Mumbai. Bravo for Chennai. Gayle for Banglore. Narine for Kolkata. Then they had the salary issues going in their home country. So most of the players boycotted some games. Now with all settled and these players coming together as a Team is a very positive thing.  

Their opponent, Sri Lanka. The have home support as an added advanatage in this match. Some say they are the favourites. They have few exceptional players. This Cup is needed for their country. As they give the first place to Cricket putting Cinema and Politics behind. That’s why u can find Jayawardane and Sangakara photos in most of the shops banner.  But I want Windies to win the Cup and perform their dance in the ground. I ll consider myself unfortunate to miss this show as I will be travelling, but I ll never stay away from scores and updates on mobile.

So as an East Indian I wish the West Indies to bring home the Cup and Glory

Perai Sollava!!!

How do u feel if there is a person with same name as yours.

It s an awkward question to me. Actually i don feel comfortable. If some one calls
my name and i am turning towards them, but they are looking for someone else worthy.
The next stage of this is they when someone calls your name and u knew that u are
not the concerned person and you have stop yourself and not turn.

What if that person is in your same class or team, and he is more charming, fun to
be with . Ya the identity of your name goes to them, the fact is we don own it. But
it s thing that pricks me a bit.

It s more complicated "When you call person with your name". I do it very rarely .
may 1/50 days i ll do. Its hardly possible to tease them with their name. I smile if
i see a new person with the same name. Would be eager to know how their roads were.

Once i gave lift to a seventh standard guy and was talking to him regarding his
studies for some 5 odd minutes and was happy to drop him . But he never asked what
my name was. Still i said.

When you like a girl so much and fortunately u get chance to speak and as the
discussion goes, if that person says i knew few other people with your name. How to
react to this. You will be almost buried if this is one side.

You have the right to be angry if u are not able to create an account on your own
name and the culprit who has stolen that right is also same named.
Some people come to you and say "Enda intha per vechavangalae ippadi thana " .

"One last thing is an incident - A school friend of mine was bonded with a girl for
3 years. As usual Time played a Nambiar role and u guessed the end. One day we were
watching a song in sun music and suddenly we saw message scrolled below ; a Guy (of
his name) conveying a love message to a girl(of my friends's favourite name)". I don
know what that girl replied , but my friend reacted with a smile in his face.

ParuvathaMalai Trekking Anubavangal

Paruvatha malai, Thiruvannamalai
June 13th 2012

Hi Friends,
My name is Praveen Kumar,
One among the thousands of IT employees dwelling in OMR.
To get rid of normal weekday and weekend activities i was thinking of doing something that i have never done before.It was at this time i came across Chennai Trekking Club through my friend VijayRaj.
When i was seeing the pictures and posts by them i eventually saw one member suggesting a place called Paruvathaimalai near Tiruvannamalai for a day's trek. And while browsing for the same in internet, seeing the videos and blogs related to it , i knew i will be there the following weekend(June 9th 2012).


So after collecting all the statistics to complete my trek i started to SanjeevaParvathamalai.
Before explaining the experiences i would to sum up some stats.
*Bus no 148 reaches Polur from Chennai in 4 hours.(CMBT-uthiramerur-Vanthavaasi-Chetpet-Devikapuram-Polur)
*From Polur bus towards sengam drops u at Maathi Mangalam which is another 20 min travel along the district roads.
*Then the wheels ended there, then the walkathon begins.


I started from Navalur by 5.45 and reached perungalathur by 6.30 by bike and parked it in a safe place, where they warned me to return by 10 or the shop will be closed and i cannot take the bike for that day and has to come again the next day to take the bike with a fee of 40 rupees. Agreed to what they said i walked towards bus stop where 148 was waiting to move and i rushed to take my avourite place in a bus which is next to driver with a complete front view of the road.The first thing i did after getting in and made me comfortable was to sleep for some time. After few short naps and viewing the small small bus stops in the way and taking pictures i reached Polur by 10.15.

The sun was set and seeing the shops nearby i searched for a hotel to have my breakfast . Had some stuf that ll not make me hungry or that ll not make my tummy full.Got another water bottle that ll help my cause, Few energisers like(Glucon +) and came to Polur bus stop and started enquiring few of the few of the locals of how to get to Paruvathamalai.Found a Vazhipokkan called Mr.Krishnan who is around 50 and told me lots of stories of the district and small small hills nearby. He also waited for the same bus as i was waiting . And seeing Chinna Gounder movie climax and Vaanathaipola starting in the shot bus travel of 20 -30 mins. I got down at Maathi mangalam bidding goodbye to him .


One important thing is this is my first trek and fortunately or unfortunately i was going alone. So the first thing that was in my mind was the safety  (eventhough i had nothing to be robbed) . So with tons of doubts i started to wak enquiring al the passerby " Vazhila entha prachanaiyum ilala" . The response was absolutely positive and they even advised me to carry sufficient things to complete as the things get costlier as u go higher and higher. I was contented with what i had and had enough three digit money to help me getting things if i needed on the way.Walking for 1.8 miles i reached a temple at the starting place of the hill where i took a stick , which i was told to take , by a person. This was to keep me away from the only animal in the hill beside human. That is our close relative , MONKEY.The temple had a archagar and he tied me a rope . With a stick, Red bag , some nerves and adrenaline i started to move up.


The first path i had to take is to through well built seps. I dint have any idea of how many are there . There are totally 1236 i hope. With excitement as i was going faster, and that was the thing that turned as a giant barrier to me. As i was fast in the beginning it took most of my energy and i had to sit for 10-15 times in the way.  Thank god there are around 7 - 10 shops selling waterbottles, biscuits, jiuces, keppakkool , ezhaneer and few other things. So its better to walk to 15 min and sit for 5 min to avoid getting tired soon. It took nearly 1 hour for me to cover these steps. By now i have come 50% of the entire hill .


The secod way. Now comes the hardest path, now i have to cover the way which is not well built, but has many stones that are put in such a way they form a way.  so have to step on each stone which are slightly bigger than the size of a cauliflower. As this route is more challenging more number of shops are here . and i had to sit in a small shop run by a women over 50 who gave me two ezhaneer and i enquired about the remaining time and distance i had to cover. I almost disheartened when i heard ti need to travel more than a hour which i never imagined to be that long. After some time resting my soles i was able to gather some energy. Then after walking for sometime i again sat in another place to have some refreshing drink. Somehow after spending 45 min in this path i was over this way also. now i can clearly see the other
small hills in the nearby locality . It was with good sunny so it was not cool or misty. so had clear vision.


The third way started. Other important aspect is, initially i started with fear of place, then the tiredness was bothering me longtime. But now its a different aspect. Excitement back again, cause at this time i was able to see the other side of the hill, it means that the hill is almost covered and the temple looked to me almost like a bunch of grapes hanging for a fox. Now this energy has made me move faster. But it was heartening to see the third route. Roks that are almost half a palm tree height are need to be climbed. They have made it easier by setting up steps circling the rock. The most important factor is steps are at 85 degree to each other. So it was the most thrilling way i had. There were steel chains to catch and climb , it helped . all shops end before, starting of this place. There are 3 to 4 huge rocks need to be climbed in this manner.


The fourth way. 95% of the way is done. Then an interestin way. Two big rocks, but this time we have steps between them. so we need to catch these rocks and step it up. Almost this place resembles a recent famous song from KO(a bit) You can have nice snaps at this place. Then you walk in pathway which is so so scary. almost heart tumbling place to cross. but u can cross it easily is a fact. If u cross this and the temple is very clearly in your sight. And u can get there in five minutes.


Finally we are at the top of a Parvatha Malai by 2.45 . You can see a huge Vel in this place and a meditation centre , and a place where at times u can see some deities performing poojas. Another new temple is being built, which may be completed soon. Then i went around the places and took few pictures of the places. There was another team of 10 people who came for a night stay . Had a chat with those new friends, there were from Vellore. Spending some some talkin with them, we were guided to a meditation place by a deity and he started telling about the pictures of the people . Then they were sharing their experiences about the time they took to come up .


One important thing is, it too 3 complete hours for me go up. It may vary for people, The other crew who were there took 5 hours to come up . Some experienced people may take less than 2 hours. Women explorers may take some different time spans if they doing it for the first time. Suddenly few ppl in their crew wanted to get down. the deity calculated the time for them to get down and he said u may reach down by 8. So better stay there and start going doen by tomo morning.

But i had different ideas. In other way, The words of deity made me think why cant i get down much faster than he said. Mean while my imagination took me to perungalathur bike stand where the stand incharge told me to be back by 10. I sat down and calculated whether it ll be possible for me to reach there in time. Somehow First time maths was in my favour a bit. If i get down by 5 to Maathi mangalam. i can reach Polur by 6. If i get bus by 6 i can reach Perungalathur by 10. This was the thing running in my mind. But the deciding factor is getting down the hill. time was 3.30.  that means in 1 hour 30 minutes i should be able to get down.  If i should make this happen i should go twice fast as i came up. Then i decided i have 50% chances of doing that beside skipping my lunch. I bid bye to those friends and started to get back to my
 downhill shoes.


I came out of the temple and started to get down. i took 30 odd steps and realised that i left my stick in the place where i sat and ran back to pick it up. Now al set for a Ride which has time limit also.
Started to roll back. But a unique barrier . I had some energy cause i rested my soles for 45 minutes . but my legs were trembling . so it was not easy to come fast also. so had to keep my steps carefully. Cause if i miss a step i may land 600 meteres away rolling. But i have an advantage which ll tell a bit later. Had lemon juice in my first shop i saw in the returning way. Then i took my camera and recorded a video for five minutes about the entire  trip. Then had a Keppakool in the same shoppe where i had my 2 ezhaneer. Then its time for the monkeys to make some noise. Then i bought 2 Kadal Packets for ten rupees and throwed towards them. Around 15 to 20 monkeys gathered to fetch that. Happy to see their activites and
proceded to walk further. Now comes the my favourite span of trip. The thing i skipped to tell earlier. Now i am at the verge of 1236 steps. No tremblings in well built steps. I took my mobile , put a song of Rajinikanth, with the enthusiasm it gave, i started to run as if 5 dogs are chasing me. One song followed by the other. at the end of 4th song i have crossed the steps. This means i am at plains.


Time is 5. So far, So good. Then as i proceeded towards the bus stop , Stick factor. I went back
for 5 min and handed the stick and a lady over there, she shud be around 60 . She saw my tired ridden face and told me to wash my face, legs, especially back of legs. I was taken aback by her overbound care . Thinking of that great women i took few steps where another group of stopped me. They stopped me and left me only when i agreed to eat some food as a part of their Annadhanam. In one aspect i was very hungry, more than that i had to catch my bus to way back home. But i choose to eat. They gave me more than i needed. I ate as much as i can and the remaining was kept for Bhairavar, a pet dog for the deities of the temple. Then i went inside a temple where saw the idol of the lord Veerabhathrar. Who had a savuku in his
hand and i asked the history why he had it, The Archagar told me the story but it was a bit long so i was not able to concentrate on what he said towards the end, cause Bus waitingla....


I changed my sweat dipped tees and wore a new one and walked thru the village roads where i was given a lift by a local Swami. He is one of the incharge of the temple and while i was eating he was on phone talking to many people for developing the facities at temple. He dropped me at bus stop and i waited for 30 minutes for the bus. finally got one and reached polur by 6.45. Where a big twist was waiting for me. There weer no buses to Chennai at that time and the next bus was by 7.30 . So had to wait for some of the longest minutes. When the bus came it was more shocking that the bus will leave Polur by 8.15 and surely i cannot reach the place before 10. So i decided to lay back and enjoy the unevittables. Rested my legs, Felt the blood rushing to my soles. Mostly busses at this this route at this time are night services so u can almost occupy
the entire 3 seater.


In 4 hours i was in guduvancherry, the next stop is perungalathur, but another twist. i was awake in guduvancherry, but not in perungalathur, Still i got ticket till Prngtr. Suddenly woke up at Tambaram and then realised that i missed to get down . But its also for good. Anyway the shop would have been closed and i had to fine my way to Navalur. Somehow i got down at Tambaram and crossed Tambaram Railway station to Bus stand where a Lord or Fate sent T51 was waiting for me. Its 12.15 when
i got the bus and got down at Shollinganallur by 12.40 . Normally its very rare to find any public transportaion after 12 in OMR . When i crossed signal and walked towards aloft suddenly a White Indica stopped near me. And he offered me a drop till navalur. I was expecting him to aska minimum of 100 to a maximum of 200. He asked just 20 rupees. Ya he was a cab driver who dropped people working in a IT company which is a ETA technopark and returning back. With not much doubt i got into the car without sun screen and got myself dropped at Navalur in front of my residencial place.

It was a treat to my eyes . but i was hard on my knees and soles. Completing my first experience over a hill was truly amazing and it was a great scene around 6 pm, when i was walking towards the bus stop and turned back to look at the hill behind which the sun was hiding and the picture i saw was so memorable and its a special piece of land to me .

 I am really thankful to those people who encouraged me durin, pre and post hill times. The bus drivers conductors, Shopkeepers, Passerbys, Friends and more importantly the unknown friend who suggested Parvathamalai .I forgot one.


Yeah. Its You My friend , For patiently read this .

IPL Season 5 -

IPL 5,
May 28th 2012.

And finally it marked the end of the season.
A beautiful night for those whos kick started the inaugral version of the IPL with a bang.
The most enthusiatic team among al.
I still remember shah rukh dancing in THE EDEN GARDENS 4 years back near the boundary line.
Shoaib akthar and KHAN enjoying after their victories especially wicket of Sachin in a match.
The Dream started with Rawalpindi express , But it needed a Magician from the Carribean to do it for the KKR.

Opening Batsmans of India, Yorker bowlers of Pakisthan, All rounders of SouthAfrica, Likewise Devastating pacers of West Indies.
But finally from the beaches of Trinidad, the Mystery man Sunil Narine delivered it, single handedly stopped each and every batsman coming in KKRs way to finals. 
But i have this small doubt, his DOB is 1988. such a small guy in international arena .
When he gets wickets or at times got hit also, this guy is simply out of emotions.
Its not that he is inexpressive, he is controling his anger or happiness in such a way that many players like Kohli , Vijay should learn from him.
Anyways its time for the Indian Batsman to solve another mystery like they did against Warne, Muthaiah, Mendis.
But this time, i am sure it ll be harder ride.

One other person who has amazed me is Steve Smith.
Few people look like iron, He is IRON man according to me. Whether it comes to sprinting for runs, or fielding, he s a person who you should watch for in the international and in ipl matches.

Rahul Dravid, who came to collect the Fairplay award for his team. If this person's team is not getting that award you should throw the award to gutters.
Man of values, He is the only reason why i am at times angry on Sachin. Sachin's fame grace has shadowed this man's talent to certain audiances.
His look for the presentation, looked like a golfer, but proud to see a Cricketer in such a Look. He is one person who makes me shout, "Cricket is a GENTLEMAN's GAME".

Sachin, his dismissal in the eliminator, and how he reacted to it, has made cricket proud.
Steyn u are the best pacer in this format. ur over agaist rohit sharma in a league match, simply no words. 
Mallinga, u have practised hours, days and years for your yorkers that only few inhuman can afford to hit u.
David hussey 's catch. The way he watched the ball travelled should be a fielding guide across the world.

Pollard, Bravo , Gayle and Smith . It was very happy that one of my favourite international team has such players like yo.
Pollard's determination to contribute to MI in all three forms were simply amazing. that too in the third format.
One shot he stopped of CSK skipper in Eliminator , there is no other person who could have done that.
Bravo's Six in 45degree and match winnig six of Bhatia 's last ball.
Smith 3 balls 14 runs, how many cricketers could have done that.
Gayle, one or two, normally stroms attack only the coastal areas of India, but the Gayle storm hurricaned in all parts of India.

Pune, ya, yo started well, but soehow things were not good thru ur lenses, but i should thank you for showcasing Ganguly's excitement after his first ball wicket.

Deccan, What one can tell, your team had the most happiest finish among all other teams, you turned out as the Kingmaker by winning the last two matches and sealing the fate of 3 teams, this should have made Gayathri happy.

Rajasthan, I missed to see the excitement for Shilpa and happy that u fighted like real royals where yu missed Watson for most of the matches. Not to miss Rahane the man who set IPL on fire this season.

Punjab, Five teams have proved themselves till now in T20 format in India, and i am sure , Trophy will be coming towards the Heart of India  , It just moved from Legs to Hands now.

Banglore, You were the entertainers . Other teams played for themselves , you were the one who played to entertain 1 billion people. ABD s finish against DC . Gayle's opening almost said the opponent that the opponent can think of winning only if he is out of equation.

Munbaikars, The Battalion, there was one man standing in your way in yellow , There is no other way with the specialist you have in all departments .

Delhi Boys, Not again, it was for your team the Play-Off was initiated . The difference between winning and loosing is one man, if he stands, match wins even if they need to chase 300.

Chennai, Something new for you to experience, Its ok to loose. Yo have proved enough.

Calcutta, And the Howrah has bridged a new hope in taking the trophy from south to North-East. Manvindher Singh , No words, when Gauti failed and when it needed the most, u stood up.

Oh, i think i dint tell about one person.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni

Well, few tell that u are lucky, few tell you are a hard hitter, few tell that u are a cool customer.
But according to me you are Teacher .
Yes, You tought nearly 10 crore growing kids and the remaining grownups of the nation , on what to do if ur toy is plucked from you by others and how to react . It means that you have grown up or its time for other chaps to have go at it.
This particular toy is not made for one, but when you have it long and you are about to loose it , even the monks go mad to keep it theirs , but no serious arguements or mishaps or shouting or starring to the oppostion which tells loudly to the sporting world that there is something called spirit the lay in a game than just winning it.

Thank You Cricket for being an extra nerve of the nation.
